Subtle Ombre

One of the biggest trends in the hair world now a days is ombre hair. If you don't know, ombre hair is when your roots are a dark brown and then gradually your hair gets lighter and goes to blonde at your ends. I quickly fell in love with the look of ombre hair, but wasn't sure how it would look on me, and ever since a bad experience with highlights I have lived in fear of damaging my hair with bleach. You can go to a salon to achieve the ombre look, but if you're like me and want to save $50, you can bleach your hair at home. Bleach kits, for me at least, are very unpredictable color wise and can severely damage your hair, but I have found a solution. Sun in hair lightener is a peroxide and water mix, normally used for highlights, but I achieved my subtle ombre look by spraying it on my hair and then either laying out in the sun or using a hair dryer to activate the peroxide. One of the biggest advantages to using Sun-In is its not one application like bleach. To ombre your hair with Sun-In it requires multiple application, so you can stop lightening your hair when it reaches the desired color compared to bleach where the color varies. Sun-In does not damage your hair like bleach will, it keeps it healthy and fluffy.

Here is my ombre hair after applying Sun-In to wet hair and drying with a hair dryer every day for 1 month. I applied the most Sun-In at my ends an gradually less as I got towards my roots. I stopped applying it completely about 4-5 inches from my roots. I sectioned off my hair into about 3 layers to apply the Sun-In. Laying in the sun will lighten your hair faster than using a hair dryer, but I prefer to only lighten it a little at a time. Sun-In is the perfect way to get that fun summer ombre look without damaging your hair and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a subtle ombre look! :)
